Sorry to hear that you crashed and glad you were not more seriously injured.

Looking at the pictures of your bike, that frame isn't cracked , but it would appear that there is way too little seatpost/sleeve insertion into the frame.. that sleeve that is shown as broken should be further into the main tube at least 3" or better than is shown .. the seat post q/r should be basically sitting on the two jam nuts, and then the seatpost should be inserted appropriately so that there is proper insertion..

I'd want to know why there is that much sleeve showing .. as your bike appears to be a 2009 or older, I don't know if the seat tube parts are available from Montague, but if they were, and assembled properly, the bike could be safely used again..
